    Brake Pads - Which ones?

    Gday

    A while ago I did a hub seal in the Defender and as a result diff oil soaked all through one side on the brake pads, on the rear of the Defender. So now I'd like to replace them

    What's the best to go for?

    I have no idea how much brake pads are worth, so depending on price I'll either go the whole lot or just the rear pads

    Thanks

    I have tried practically all there is available for Range Rovers. I go through 2-3 sets a year.
    The genuine ones work best but wear the quickest, which may not be a problem if you dont drive all that many k,s. My vehicle is an auto and is always heavily loaded.

    I'll be replacing mine with genuine to get rid of the squeal. However they can be up to twice as expensive. Figure $80 - $100 per for the rears.

    Just been quoted $185 for a full set of Genuines on my doorstep

    Is that realistic or a bit exxy?

    Thanks
